The CH07 Shell Chair, designed by Hans Wegner in 1963, is sometimes known as The Smiling Chair or The Happy Chair thanks to its upward smiling sculptural seat. Our version of the Shell Chair features two bent plywood shells that form the backrest and signature wide, wing-shaped seat. The seat rests on three curved legs. Both the backrest and seat are upholstered in premium leather. This statement piece is, as Hans Wegner believed a chair should be, “beautiful from all sides and angles”. A beautiful and comfortable chair, its timeless style allows it to sit well in both contemporary and traditional settings.
